| Glass tempering is a process that can be made in many ways to get tempered glass that meets the standards. The selected way is usually chosen by the operator and is almost always based on experience instead of science.
| Investigations of different positions of the sphere and the satellite and their effect on stress distribution are studied. Both, experimental observations and computational FEM simulations are compared.
| A way to determine the condition and functionality of a glass furnace is to measure the glass temperature as it exits the furnace.
| The new complete metrology scanner after furnace exit and its capabilities for furnace optimization and quality control.
| In the latest Glastory blog post, Antti Aronen analyzes the transformative potential of automated glass tempering.
